CHAPTER XVII.

THE TWELFTH OF FEBRUARY.
John soon settled down into the routine OF
camp life in Pretoria, which, after one once
got accustomed to 1t, was not so disagreeable
as might have been expected, and possessed,
at any rate, the merit Of novelty. Although
he was All officer of the army, John preferred,
on the whole, having several horses to ride,
and, his services not being otherwise re-
quirel, he made up his mind to en-
roll himself in the corps of mounted vol
unteers known Us the Pretoria carbineers, in
the humble capacity of a sergeant. and this
he obtained leave to do from the officer COM
manding the troops He was all active man,
and his duties in connection with the corps
kept him fully employed during most of the
day, and sometimes, when there was outpost
duty to be done. during a good part of the
night too. For the rest, whenever
he got back to the earthly
which lie had stipulated be should
be allowed to sleep in order to protect
Jess in case of any danger-he, always found
her ready to greet him, and every little
preparation made for his comfort that was
possible under the circumstances. Indeed, as
time went on they found it more convenient
to set up their own little mess instead of
sharing that Of their friends, and so they
used every day to sit down to breakfast and
dine together at little table rugged up out Of
packing case, and placed under an extem-
porary tent, all for the world like a young
couple picnicking ON their honeymoon. OF
course the whole thing was very hksome

ITO BE Continued

The MAN WHO LAUGHs.-The man
whose "Ha hal" reaches from one end
of the street to the other may be the same
fellow who scolded his wife and spanked
the baby before he got his breakfast, but
his laughter is only the cracking of
thorns under the pot.
The man who spreads his laughter
through his life-before late breakfast,
when he misses the train, when his wife
goes visiting and he has cold supper
the man who can laugh when he finds q
button off his shirt, when the fire goes
out on cold winter night, and both the
twins come down with the measles at
the same time-he's the fellow that's
needed.
He never tells his neighbor to have
faith; somehow he puts faith into him.
He delivers no homilies; the sight of his
beaming face, the sound of his happy
voice, and the sight Of his blessed daily
life carry conviction that words have no
power to give. Theblues flee from before
him as the fog fees before the west wind; ;
he comes into his home like flood ofsun-
shine oyer a meadow Of blooming butter
cups, and his wife and children blossom
in his presence like June roses. His
home is redolent with sympathy and
love. The neighborhood is better for his
life, and somebody will learn of him that
laughter IS better than tears.

HOUSEKEEPING AT THE PALATIAL.
The upshot Of this arrangement was that
they were thrown more together than ever
before. Meanwhile the siege dragged its
slow length along. No news whatever reached
the town from outside, but that did not
trouble the inhabitants very much, as they
were sure that Colley was advancing to their
relief and even got up sweepstakes as to the
took place, but as the results attained were
very small and were not OH the whole credit
able to our arms, perhaps the less said about
them the better. John, Of course, went out
on these occasions, and then jess would en-
Fdure asonies that were ell the worse because
she had to conceal them. She lived in con-
slant terror lest lie should be among the
killed. However nothing happened to him,
and things went OH as usual till the 18th Of
February, on which day all attack was made
on place called the Red House Kraal, which
was occupied by Beers, near spot known as
the Six Mile Spruit.
The force. which was a mixed one left
Pretoria before daybreak, and John went
with it. He was rather surprised when, on
going to the cart in which Jess slept, to get
some little thing before saddling up, to find
her sitting OH the box in the night dews with
cup Of coffee she had prepared for him in her
hand.
"What do you mean by this JessW lie asked,
sharply. II will not have you getting up in
the middle Of the night to make coffee for
me-"
II have not got up" she answered, quietly;
II have not been to bed"
"That makes matters worse" he said; but
nevertheless lie drank the coffee, and was glad
to get it. while she sat on the box and watched
him.
"Put on your shawl and get something over
your head" he said, "the dew will soak you
through Look, your hair is all wet"
Presently she spoke. ~ wish you would do
something for me, john" for she called him
John now "Will YOU promise"
allow like n woman," lie said, "to ask one
to promise a thing without saying what it is. !"
II want you to promise for BesSie's sake" !"
she said.
"Well, what is it, Jess"
"Not to go OH this sortie. You know you
can easily get out of it if you like"
He laughed. "You little silly; why not!"
"Oh, don't know. Don't laugh at me, be-
cause am nervous. 1 am afraid that-that
something might happen to YOU"
"Well," he remarked, consolingly, "every
bullet has its billet, and if it does don't see
that it can be helped"
"Think of Bessie" she said again.
"Look here, JESS" he answered, testify,
"what is the good of trying to take the heart
out Of fellow like this! If am going TO be

fancy that you said or that did since tile
time when you came in wounded and found
that had tainted"
"Quite So" said John; ~ renounce them
ALL"
1--WE renounce them all," she corrected, and
gave q solemn little nod of her head and
sighed, and thus they ratified TINT audacious
compact of oblivion.
But it was lie, and they both knew TINT
it was lie. If love had existed before. was
there anything in his helplessness and her
long and tender care to make it less. Alas!
no; rather was their companionship the more
perfect and their sympathy the more COM
petc. "Propinquity, SIR: propinquity," as
the wise man said; we know the evils Of it.
From that day forward they forgot that
scene in the sitting room OF "The Palatial,"
when Jess put out her strength and John
bent and broke before it Ikea rush before the
wind. Surely it was part of the dcirium!
They forgot thnt now. alas! they loved each
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1887-06-15

"Look" she said, pointing.
"Ah, poor man, poor mani" said Mrs.
Neville. 'they ure bringing him here to lay
him out"
Then Jess beautiful eyes closed, and down
she went with the bending tree. Presently
the sapling snapped, and she fell senseless
with little cry, and as she did so the men
with the corpse passed OIL.
Two minutes afterwartl, John Mel, having
heard the rumor of his own death Oh arrival
at the camp and greatly fearing lest it should
have got to Jess ears, came cantering
hurriedly across, and dismounting rs well as
his wound would allow, limped up tho garden
path.
"Great heavens, Capt. Mel" said Mrs.
Neville, looking up; "why, we thought that
you were dead"
"!ind that is what you have been telling
her. suppose" he said, sternly, glancing ut
the pale and dcathlike face; 'you might have
waited till you were sure Poor girl! it must
have given hera turn,n and stopping down,
he got his arms under her, ana lifting her
with some difficulty, limped Off to the house,
where he laid her down upon tue table, and,
assisted by Mrs. Neville, began to do all i'll
his power to revive her. So obstinate was
her faint, however, that their efforts were
unavailins, and at last Mrs. Neville started
of to the camp to get some brandy, leaving
him to go on rubbing her hands and SprlnE-
ling water on her face.
The good lady had not been gone more
than two or three ninntes when jess sud-
denly opened her eyes and snt up, and then
slipped her feet to the ground. Her eyes fell
upon john and dated with wonder, and he
thought TINT >lle was going to faint again,
for even her lips blnnched, and she began to
shake and tremble ull over in the extremity
of her agitation.
"Jess, jess" he said, "for Gods sake don't
look like that, you frishten me-"
81 thought YOU wcre-I thought you were
-" she said slowly, and then suddenly burst
into passion of tears and fell forward upon
his breast and lay there sobbins her heart
out, her brown curs resting against his face.
1t was all awkward position and n most
moving one. John was only man, and the

spectacle OF this strange woman, TO whom
he had lately grown so much attached,
plunged into intense emotion. awakened, ap-
parently, by anxiety about bis fate, stirred
him deeply, as it would have stirred any
body. Indeed, it struck some chord IN nun
for which he could not quite account, and It's
echoes charmed and yet frightened Inn.
What did it mean!
aJess, dear Jess, pray stop; I can't bear to
see you cry So"
She lifted her head from his shoulder and
stood looking at him, her hand resting OH the
table behind her. Her face was wet with
tears and looked like dew washed lily. and
her beautiful eyes were alight with flame
that he had never seen in the eyes of woman
before She said nothing, but her whole face
was moro eloquent than any words, for there
are times when the features can convey
message in language Of their own that is
moro subtle than any tongue we talk. There
she stood, her breast heaving with emotion as
the sea heaves when the ferceness OF the
storm has passed-a very incarnation OF the
intensest love of woman. And as she stood
something seemed to pass before her eyes and
blind her, and spirit took possession OF her
that absorbed all her doubts and fears, and
she gave way to force that was Of her and
yet compelled her, as, when the wind blows,
the sails compel a ship. And then, for the
first time, wherehes lovewas concerned, she
put out all her strength. She knew, and had
always known, that she could master
him, and force him to regard her as she re-
garded him, did she but choose How she
knew it she could not say, but SO it was. And
now she yielded TO an overmastering impulse
and chose. She said nothing, she did not
even move, she only looked at him.
"Why were you in such fright about me"
he stammered.
She did not answer, but kept her eyes upon
his face, and it seemed to John as though
power flowed from them; for, as she looked,
he felt the change come. Everything melted
away before the almost spiritual intensity OF
her gaze. Bessie, honor, his engagemcnt-all
were forgotten; the smoulderins embers
broke into fame, and he knew that he loved
this woman Us he had never loved any living
creature before-that he loved her even as
she loved him. Strong man as he was he
shook like leaf before her.
"Jess," he said, hoarsely, "God forgive mel
love you" and he bent forward to kiss her.
She lifted her face toward him, then sud-
denly changed her mind, and laid her hand
upon his breast.
"You forget" she said, almost solemnly,
"you are going to marry Bessie"
Overpowcrel by deep sense Of shame, and
by another sense of the deep calamity that
had oveltaken him, John turned and limped
from the house.

other with love that did but gather force
from its despair. They talked of Bessie, and
of Johns marriage, and discussed Jess plans
for going to Europe, just as though these
were not matters of spiritual life and death
to each of them. In short, however they
might for one brief moment have gone as
tray, now, to their honor be it said, they fol-
lowed the path of duty with unfinchihg
feet, nor did they cry when the stones cut
them.
But it was NIL living lie, and they knew
it. For between them stood the irrevocable
Past, who for good or evil had bound them
together in his unchanging bonds, and with
cords that could not be broken.

ni5- The evils arising from jesting up
on Scripture, are greater than appear at
first. 1t leads in general, to irreverence
for Scripture. When we have heard
comic or vulgar tale connected with a
text of Scripture, such is the power OF
association, that we never hear the text
afterward without thinking of the jeer.
The effect Of this is obvious. He who is
much engaged in this kind of false wit,
will come at length to have portion of
Holy Scripture spotted over by his un-
holy fancy.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1887-06-15

GD- Wherever find great deal of
gratitude in a poor man take it for
granted there would be as much generos-
ity if he were rich man.
@- To be famed for holiness is as
great snare as to be in high repute for
wisdom and eloquence.
